Dear Parents, Guardians, and Community Members,

It continues to be one of the greatest honors of my career to serve as Principal of Pierson High School. Every day, I get to work alongside a team of educators who show up for our students, and I show up for them by being present on campus, in classrooms, and available to families.

As an alternative high school, Pierson offers students a different path to their diploma through blended learning, differentiated instruction, and intervention support built around each student's needs. We are proud to be a Cognia-accredited school, which reflects the quality of instruction our students receive here. Every student who walks through our doors has the potential to learn and succeed, and my job is to build a school where that's possible, with the support, resources, and structure they need to get there.

Academic success only happens when students feel safe. I'm committed to a school environment where students feel physically and emotionally secure, and that commitment shapes everything from how we run our campus day to day to how we support students who are struggling.

I look forward to continuing this work alongside you, this year and in the years ahead. Together, we can keep setting our students up for a lifetime of success.

Go Wolves!

Jigar Mehta

Principal, Pierson High School
